Yes, maybe you got the wrong person on the wrong day. The only condition on doing this is that the application must be submitted personally by the applicant who must then return immediately to the US to await processing. In our case, like the OP, the rehab app was holding up the PR app and the...

I did a rehab application for my wife a couple years ago and submitted it initially to a visa office. Her old DUI conviction was holding up her PR application. I later found out that you can submit them at a port of entry so I submitted a second rehab application at the Detroit-Windsor tunnel...

It depends on the reason why he was driving without a license. If he was convicted because he just plain never had a license or forgot to renew the one he held, that's a provincial matter here and he won't be inadmissible. If however, he was convicted because he was caught driving while his...

I agree with Rob, either a trip to the States or an extension application will reset her status. It's just a personal view, but I'd recommend the extension application. The fee is only $100, if you have a PR app in process, a place to stay and enough money to support yourself, those extensions...

My wife's been here a couple years now and doing well. She doesn't work, just stays home and bakes cookies, which hasn't done much for my waistline. I think she's had no trouble adjusting to life here except she's always complaining that it's too cold (even when it's sweltering).

You should be fine for both his PR and his extenson application. It depends on whether he was charged under a provincial law (sounds like he was if the suspension was for medical reasons) or under the Criminal Code.

I would definitely get it done in Korea. It will be cheaper and faster.

A few months after the OERC rejects your appeal, fax them a letter asking them to check again. They will enquire again with CIC and, if you've passed your eligibility assessment this time, they'll grant your coverage.

If you're convicted of the impaired or refusal you'll be inadmissible to Canada for 5 years from the date of the completion of your sentence, and your application will be rejected. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but DUI is a Criminal Code offence in Canada and renders you inadmissible for...

I'm assuming that the conviction is in some province in Canada and you're saying it was a careless driving conviction under the Highway Traffic Act of some province, and not an impaired driving conviction under the Criminal Code. If that's the case you'll be fine. Convictions under provincial...

Did that answer come from Service Ontario or OERC? Either way, it's wrong, unless your visa was issued on the same day you passed your eligibility assessment.

Yes. It' section 253.

You shouldn't have to wait for SA. The work permit should qualify you for OHIP but exactly when it will kick in, I don't know. Have you gone to Service Ontario to ask about it?

The driving under suspension shouldn't be an issue either because it's not considered a criminal offence here in Canada. If that's the worst thing on his record, you should be fine.

Congratulations

It depends on the traffic offence and how whether the equivalent offence in Canada is considered a criminal offence here. Minor speeding tickets and the driving without insurance won't cause a problem for you. More serious driving offences could. You'd really have to tell us exactly what his...

Like you say, you never know until you get the COPR, but if you've had no issues to date with your application I'm guessing you've been approved.

Very strange. You're right. You would have completed IMM5490 which is the equivalent form for an outland application. Did they send the whole package back to you? No. You can still apply outland.

Well the problem at this point is that you can't go to Canada because she's inadmissible for a visitor's visa due to the DUI. As a result, as Scylla pointed out, an inland app is out of the question for you so long as she hasn't had the DUI conviction rehabilitated. You're right, the...

This is correct. The DUI makes her inadmissible for any visa (except a TRP which you probably won't be able to get in your circumstances). So, she has to remain outside Canada until the DUI issue is cleared up. If you want to speed things up, you could submit your rehab application at a border...
